“As we bring Red Lion, N-Tron and Sixnet together, our promise to you is that we shall become a better company, and not just a bigger one.”
Mike Granby President, Red Lion Controls
Please allow me to start by saying thank you to the thousands of customers all over the world who place their trust in the products and reputation of Red Lion, N Tron and Sixnet: We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you at even higher levels in the future.
We are currently in the middle of exciting changes, as we take the steps towards bringing N-Tron and Sixnet together as part of a bigger, better Red Lion. Each company has its own legacy and its own strengths, and together we offer an industry-leading portfolio of products and solutions. The long and trusted history of Red Lion and Sixnet in the automation market is a perfect complement to N-Tron’s mastery of industrial networking, and to Sixnet’s recent developments in the fields of cellular and machine-to-machine communications.
As we bring Red Lion, N-Tron and Sixnet together, our promise to you is that we shall become a better company, and not just a bigger one. We recognize that you, the customer, is what matters, and that our merger only makes sense if it is able to put better solutions and better products in your hands. We are dedicated to becoming the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking—and to doing so with the exceptional levels of service for which Red Lion is well known.
In addition to the panel meters, HMIs and other industrial automation products that Red Lion customers have always trusted, we now have a broad selection of communication technologies for industrial networks, ranging from industrial Ethernet, through WiFi to complete cellular M2M solutions.
And the end result? A comprehensive set of products that enable you to connect, monitor and control anything. From one device to a thousand devices. Connecting serially, via Ethernet, or over high-speed wireless networks. Speaking one protocol, or hundreds of protocols. On a single machine, across your factory, or spanning multiple sites all over the globe.
Thank you again, and join us on our journey as Red Lion, N-Tron and Sixnet become better, together.
A Message from the President

Network Terms
--#--
10Base-T - Standard of data transmission over Cat 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable at 10Mbps
100Base-TX - Standard of data transmission over Cat5 twisted pair cable at 100Mbps
100Base-FX - Standard for data transmission over fiber optic cable at 100Mbps

-- A --
Access Point - A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi
Aging - A mechanism called MAC aging that lets MAC addresses be aged out of an Ethernet switch MAC table (see ARL) after a certain period of inactivity
Aging Time - The length of time that a MAC address entry can remain in the ARL forwarding table. When an entry reaches its aging time, it “ages out” and is purged from the table, effectively cancelling frame forwarding to that specific port. In other words, if the switch doesn’t hear from a device after a specified period of time, the MAC entry in the ARL table is deleted.
AP - Access point
27

Auto Polarity - Determines if the wiring polarity is correct and if not, corrects it automatically
Auto Crossing - The ability of a device to determine and correctly route the transmitted and received signals on twisted pair cable, eliminating the need for a crossover cable
Auto-Negotiation - The ability of a device to determine the data transmission rate and mode (duplex or half-duplex) and set itself accordingly

cUL 1604 - Underwriters Laboratories’ safety standard for devices used in potentially explosive environments

Cut Through - A method of packet transmission in which the switch begins forwarding the frame as soon as it has read the destination address. A cut through switch will forward the data before it has completed receiving the frame. These switches function at wire speed, forwarding traffic as fast as received. Nearly all cut-through switches have no RAM buffers for storing frames. (see Store & Forward)
-- D --
Dark Fiber - Unused fiber optic cable
Determinism - Ability to predict the time that elapses between the moment a packet is sent and the moment it is received at the intended destination

DHCP Option 61 - A version of DHCP that assigns an IP address to a device based on the MAC address, string name or HEX value of a switch
DHCP Option 82 - A version of DHCP that assigns an IP address to a device by using a Relay Agent; this method assures that if a device is replaced, the new device gets the same IP address

It is purely a software package that is positioned on top of hardware to which it is interfaced, in general via PLCs or other commercial hardware modules. SCADA systems are used in industrial processes such as steel making, power generation and distribution. The size of SCADA installations range from a few thousands to tens of thousands of input/output (I/O) channels.
SFP - Small Form Pluggable: an interface that accepts a plug-in module, offering the ability to make the port copper, multimode fiber or single-mode fiber
Single Mode - In a single mode fiber, the core is so small that only one path length of travel for photons is available for optical transmission. Like multimode fiber except the fiber is the same diameter as the photon allowing only one possible mode of travel.
SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol: commonly used to configure or monitor the status of devices connected to a LAN; usually performed by a web browser

30
Frame is often checked for errors before forwarding. This type of switch is inherently slower in environments where upper layer protocols already provide reliable services. The key to identifying a store-and-forward unit is determining if switch has buffers (see Cut-Through)

TX - Transmit: usually seen on a fiber port to differentiate between the transmit and receive connectors
-- U --
Unicast - A term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one point to another point; in this case there is just one sender and one receiver; the Address Resolution Logic (ARL) table in the switch will forward this type of traffic to the destination port only and not flood traffic to all ports as a hub would
UPS - Uninterruptable Power Supply: allows devices to function if a main power supply is lost
URL - Universal Resource Locator: standardized scheme for accessing documents and services using browser software
UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair: refer to definition of Twisted Pair
